Parents Guide for
Lost Highway (1997)

Graphic full-frontal female nudity and strong sex scenes throughout. A man and a woman have sex, but action is off camera. A man and a woman have sex in a car, graphic nudity and thrusting. Several further sex scenes show explicit nudity. A (fake) porn film is shown on a projector. A woman is coerced into undressing and performing oral sex on a man at gunpoint. A long shot of a naked woman walking slowly across a beach and up a staircase.

Camera-footage shows a woman's dismembered body, with a large amount of blood. A man is beaten around the head with the butt of a pistol. A man is tripped and falls headfirst into the edge of a glass table, embedding the edge in his forehead, which then drips a fair amount of blood. A man is shot in the head, brains fly everywhere.

Infrequent use of strong profanity, mostly by one character.

Main characters smoke frequently. There are also several strong drug references.

The entire film has a creepy and surreal atmosphere enhanced by the cinematography and soundtrack.
